PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Pop star Pink was in Philadelphia on Sunday night and thousands of fans flocked to Lincoln Financial Field to see her perform despite the threat of bad weather.
Sundays at the Linc are usually reserved for football, but this Sunday was different. Instead of a sea of green, it was a sea of pink.
For Emma and Morgan Vilardi, it was a family affair. The two took their mother to the show to celebrate her 53rd birthday. They say the threat of rain wasn’t going to stop them from showing mom a good time.
“It’s a birthday present, so we said, ‘Whatever happens, it’s going to happen,'” Morgan Vilardi said. “I’ve seen her perform in the rain, so I wasn’t worried it was going to get canceled or anything.”
Some fans were prepared for the rainy conditions and had brought their ponchos just in case.
Leah Rosenkrantz and her friends said they couldn’t pass up the opportunity to see Pink, who is originally from Bucks County.
“Her mother went to Atlantic City High School, which is also where I graduated,” Rosenkrantz said
Rosenkrantz said it’s amazing to see a local girl grow into a superstar.
“She was a very good example for women,” Rosenkrantz said. “I think she’s a very strong, independent woman.”
